An
online orientation program can be an innovative, cost-effective, and practical
way of facilitating transitions into higher education for many different
populations. This session will highlight the utility of using online orientation
for multiple institutional audiences (freshmen, transfers, parents,
international students, traditional students, and non-traditional students).
Presenters will provide an introduction to online orientations including
relevant learning theories and best practices, as well as a preliminary planning
document for use following the seminar. This session will also showcase a
variety of successful online orientations that bridge populations and
institutional types.

This
session is designed to help orientation professionals develop and implement
successful online orientation programs. Participants will be guided through the
implementation process and engage in dialog with other participants and
experienced professionals. This seminar will also provide participants the
opportunity to begin the process of creating an action plan for initiating an
online orientation at their institution.

Welcome to the Dillard University Center for Teaching, Learning and Academic Technology Blog!

The Dillard University Center for Teaching, Learning and Academic Technology (DUCTLAT) http://www.ductlat.blogspot.com/ is essential in helping faculty effectively manage technology on and off campus. An important aspect of this initiative is achieved by bringing groups of faculty members together to learn the technology necessary to develop electronic resources for their courses and themselves, while planning and beginning the development of shared curricular materials. Cultivating faculty success at all levels reinforces the University's commitment to build premier faculty learning communities. All faculty, deans and academic administrators play a critical role in creating competitive and productive academic units in which expectations for faculty performance are clearly articulated and professional achievements are recognized and rewarded.
